Jamie Osborne was watching from afar the last time France visited Dublin but the Ireland back saw enough on his television screen to know he wanted a piece of the action. Two years on and he is ready to grab the experience if it comes his way on Saturday.

A try-scoring return to the green jersey in victory over Wales last time out has put the versatile 23-year-old in line for his seventh Test appearance when the French return to Aviva Stadium this weekend in search of vengeance for their 32-19 defeat in round two of the 2023 Guinness Six Nations.
